Being part of a family means smiling all the time in group photos.
But what happens when the smile disappears and one of the family members is not present for the group portrait?
“Family (Anti)Portrait” invites you into the living room of the Niculescu family, where the walls of the parental home hide secrets that no one knows completely and everyone wants something from each other.
The policeman, the betrayed woman, the deceived husband, the lazy pianist, the yogi corporate, the activist-influencer and the father, the great absentee, all of whom are the subject of a funny-bitter Woody Allen-meets-Caragiale, sit down for a beer type of story.
With humor, irony and cynicism, they all try to unravel the seemingly complicated past to simplify the present and show what a family is really all about.
